PNG HEADS TO MOSCOW FOR THE BRICS+ FASHION SUMMIT
25 September, 2024
From October 3 to 5, Philma Kelegai, Founder and Managing Director of PNG Fashion Week, will be attending the BRICS+ Fashion Summit in Moscow. This global event, the largest of its kind for the emerging fashion markets, will be held in Moscow and will bring together industry leaders, heads of fashion associations, manufacturers, designers, and experts from around the world to discuss the future of fashion.
The Summit offers a comprehensive Business Program, an International Exhibition "Heritage”, which features modern interpretations of cultural codes in fashion design from across the globe, and educational events.
Philma Kelegai will be participating in the BRICS+ Fashion Summit to foster multi-vector cooperation in the fashion industry, strengthen cultural and business ties, and address pressing issues like innovation and sustainable development. As the key event in emerging fashion markets, the Summit focuses on the challenges and achievements of talented individuals, designers, and companies within the industry. Papua New Guinea's expertise in fashion and culture will be invaluable in supporting emerging designer brands on a global scale. Summit discussions will also delve into topics such as artificial intelligence, investment, and manufacture.
“As a leader in this space in PNG, I am excited to see how connections like this that foster collaboration and exchange can lead to massive returns on investment and invaluable reach for not just fashion in PNG but brand PNG.” Kelegai said. “PNG deserves to be seen on global platforms, its art, culture, story and rich history is undeniable and I am proud to represent PNG at this global forum” she added.
The International Exhibition "Heritage" will be a highlight of the Summit. It will showcase the powerful influence of national and cultural heritage of BRICS countries, as well as countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America on modern clothing design and reflect the global trend of embracing cultural codes in a contemporary context.
Following the BRICS+ Fashion Summit, Moscow Fashion Week will take center stage from October 4 to 9, featuring talented designers from Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Russia, South Africa, Costa Rica and the UAE.
